New Expansion AnnouncedFollow

I am glad to see they didn't raise the level cap all the way to 80 like they had talked about.

No screen shots yet of the new race.

I wonder what classes the new race will be able to use. being a dragon type class. i'd guess all magic classes.

finnaly an expansion for all levels

i hope between expansions they continue to improve old zones and cities . making better graphics and adding more quests for the lower levels to do in the old zones

I am also happy it isn't going all the way to 80. I wonder if the new race will be Evil or Good? Being dragons would make you think evil. Be nice if they could be monks, need more races capable of being monks (still think Vah Shir should be able to be monks, Kerrans are monks!).

Anyways this is the first expansion I have actually looked forward to since LDON. Finnally a expansion that isn't just a bunch of KOS insanely hard lvl 60+ mobs spawned tightly together with insane procs etc. If not for the monster missions DODH and POR woudl be worthless IMO.

Also might bring some more players of all levels into the game. You knwo your hardcore people will want to be the first lvl 70 of the new race etc, although I guess they probably won't help much with grouping sinc etheywill just powerlevel. Actually they will probably hog entire camps with there lvl 70 healer backing them up, but still.

Wonder if the new AA's will only be high lvl ones like DODH, or actually some you can earn at lvl 51 or 55. I never did care for the DODH because most of them required you to max out aa's from previous expansion.

With regards to the AA's: didn't they state around the time of E3 that they were going to revert back to the Gates theory on handing out AA abilities? By this I mean they were going to make it so that you had to accumulate a high number of AA's to get a new ability/power?
In order to justify that move, they were going to leave the experience needed to earn AA's the same.
I remember following a link from here where they talked about it. I don't have the time or I would do a search for it.


The only interest I have in this expansion is to see if they have any actual new lines of spells for the classes, or it will be the same old "here is an upgrade of all of your buffs and nukes".

I don't think the downtime/soloing stuff is part of the xpac,could be just patched into the game. /shrug.

I'm pretty jazzed up about this one, but like the above posters, I'd like to see them continue to work more on fixing/improving the existing content.

There's a bit of creepiness I didn't need before my coffee.

Lol ya i notice that...thanks for pointing that out Jophiel...now im creeped out!

Why is everyone excited about "new content for all levels"?
They say that every time.

I didn't even bother to read past "SoEvil".

Just stop playing then.

they will definately have monks available, there is a long thread about that at monkly-business where kytherea confirms this.
I think they should be bards too because bards are connected with dragons a lot in the lore. The bard epics have a lot to do with dragons, the bard epic 1.5 title is wyrmkin, only bards can worship veeshan.
I would guess they would have the same clases as humans (which is most of them) because they are half human, and also because the more classes they release, the more people will be likely to try them. It will be interesting to see what racial abilities they are given.

What I'd like to know is if I'll be allowed to create a new character for this expansion, since I already have the maximum 8 toons on my server.

Yes you can always delete a toon (horror!) hehe...

Good point though, if they create a new race they should up the ante from 8 character slots to 10.
